R34 Gtr Rims On A R34 Gtt

[nuffsaid]

Hi

Has anyone tried to fit R34 GTR rims to a R34 GTT?

Does everything line up nicely or is it out of whack because of the offsets?

Also, what is the best offset to look for when purchasing a set of 18" rims for a GTT?

Thanks

R34 GTR rims are 18x8 +30 offset from memory. They should sit nicely in a GTT. I've seen a few GTTs running around with GTR wheels. If you are looking at fitting 18s on the GTT, anything at the front with offsets +40, +35 should fit assuming they are 18x8s. You will also need to check on front brake caliper clearance. I have tried two sets of +

35 offset on my fronts before one did not clear because it did not have high disk clearance. Jap wheels can be very tricky in this respect. Best advice is try before you buy...which can be hard when you are importing or buying second hand. I've learnt this the hard way

34 GTR wheels are 18X9 not 18X8. you may have some trouble with the fronts, but i'm not entirely sure. best way to find out is to see if you can try a pair on. With some low profile 235s on the front they will probably be ok.

This is such a great forum and many experts opinion. Question is how is the alignment setting and whether the handling is effected compare with the stock standard rims or other after market rims? The design looks great and had offers for a set atm. One last question, if I change the GTT fenders to the GTR ones while still retaining the stock GTT bumpers & bonnet, will there be gaps during fittings? The GTR fender do balance the car up with the GTR rims and will not hit the inside while turning. The GTR bumpers are pretty low for everyday driving.

Thanks in advance for the pros....Cheers!

i have seen a 33 gtst with them in japan ( with stock 245x45x18 tyres) and i have a picture but not 100% sure if they will hit , probably hit the front inner guards . If you want to see the pic p.m. me your email and i will send it to you .

Just to confirm , they are 18x9 and +30 offset .

Here is what it might look like

The R34 GTT does have a bodykit but I remember people actually thought it was a GT-R.

A bloke in England did this but then removed them as he was unhappy with the fit.

Yeap, that is me

They fit well on standard suspension but the GTR offset means the front wheels will rub really badly if you lower it much. You could roll the inner guards at least 2cm or only lower it 20mm.

Hmmm if I had these wheels and lowered in 20mm, would the car look funny?
